i have a 5 finger gap, so my next mod is DEFINITELY a drop. i have 18"s and i want to know what would be best to get ride of that space WITHOUT rubbing. i can only get springs now due to monetary issues LOL. so what springs would get me lowwwww

 

anyone

 

You can go as low as you want, rubbing is depended on the offset and width of your wheels.

 

h&r sport i think you can use your stock shocks with these.

 

i hear the h&r's are kind of a small drop...can anyone provide set-in numbers? im runnin 225 with a 40 offset

 

40 offset, you will rub. Need to cut tabs and roll fenders. Tein S-Tech provide a nice drop. 2.1 in front and 1.7 ( I think ) in the back. But remember, when the spring settles down, it will be slight lower too. How many miles on the shocks? If you have high mileage, you should replace the shocks one time, to save you labor in the future. Springs will not effect shocks drastically, but over a period of time, yes.

 

i got some used comptechs that are collecting dust. think its like 2.1f/1.8r. correct me if im wrong

 

philly: how much are the ct's? probably an assload?

FL3.2TL: will i rub no matter what size drop?

 

Thanks for the responses guys!

This is just to give you an idea; If members want to post their ride with their setup, feel free; but this is how much I can offer you. So good luck with the decision, but remember, the lower you will go the more or more chances of you rubbing depending on the wheel setup ( but in your case, yes )

Also, search in the photogallery ( mainly the color threads ) of people's ride and most likely they would have a list of mods, if not just search in general.

 

Thanks!
